Former heavyweight king Mike Tyson and six-time world champ Roy Jones Jr. fought to a draw during Saturday's much-anticipated exhibition fight at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Pugmire: For a man who's shed 100 pounds in the a year ago, a proud former champion who has sobbed in an interview about what he'd become without the sport, he turned in a strongly conditioned showing and flashed visions of his former famed power in striking Jones.
Tyson's return to the ring for this show attracted worldwide attention, and Iron Mike did his best to demonstrate his months of work to recapture a measure of the form that made him a legend to a generation of boxing fans.
But Jones Jr utilised his gameplan to perfection by hitting Tyson on his way in and ducking and manoeuvring his way around the ring.
Jones fought steadily into his late 40s, but thought he was done with the sport after winning his last bout in 2018.
